Here and Now in Bielefeld: Workshop for Teachers at the University of Bielefeld

Rediscovering Presence in the Classroom: A Workshop for Teachers in Bielefeld

The BiConnected workshop “Here and Now - Discovering and Unfolding Your Presence as a Teacher” invites you to the University of Bielefeld on May 27, 2026. The focus is on how teachers can consciously perceive, strengthen, and reflect on their presence in the classroom - through movement pedagogical exercises, exchanges, and practical impulses.

A Format for Real Teaching Situations

Those who stand in front of groups every day know the unique mix of attention, responsibility, and personal impact. This is exactly where the workshop comes in: It opens a safe space where teachers, student teachers, and other educational stakeholders can explore their role, demeanor, and impact on the learning group. This creates new perspectives for lesson design and professional self-perception.

Body, Posture, and Educational Impact

The event combines expertise from teacher education with experiential exercises. Presence is addressed not abstractly, but made tangible through action. This makes the workshop interesting for participants looking for concrete impulses for communication, charisma, and audience engagement in everyday school life. The atmosphere among the participants is likely to be focused, open, and practical.

BiConnected as a Strong Professional Development Format
